Make no mistake this is a trick.

Russia HAS NO DIESEL TO EXPORT. They're importing at a huge government loss from India.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/world/articles/russia-import-diesel-fuel-while-135000913.html

This fake deal accomplishes exactly two things:

1. It lets Trump give Putin money for arms against Ukraine and all Putin has to do is middle man Indian diesel.
2. It lets Trump attack Ukrainians when they strike Russian refineries because they're "bombing our American diesel supply chain.

The US is a NET EXPORTER of diesel. They don't need more fuel. The problem is the market price is increasing due to mostly Hormuz since Russian oil is sanctioned. All he's doing is lifting this sanction to pay Putin to buy arms. Stopping Putin from trading fuel for arms was the entire purpose of the sanctions in the first place.

Trump is a traitor.

It was all a scam. Trump had just put sanctions on Russia. Putin then banned all diesel exports from Russia in response, even though they don’t have much thanks to Ukraine taking out refineries and storage. Putin wanted trump to lift those sanctions so he offered trump diesel russia doesn’t have in exchange for lifting the sanctiond trump just imposed

Played trump like a putz.

So we're at the point where Trump is openly and actively undermining US policy again in exchange for Russia to swing the election in his favor. Got it.

Ukraine and the Kurds. They fight our wars for us and betrayal is all they get for it. Ukraine should let every Iranian tanker through.

Zionists, Now Russian invaders. What other scum of the earth can we join forces with. We can help China murder Taiwan I guess.

Traitor.

This is treasonous and helps get American volunteers in Ukraine get killed. 👏👏The president of the USA is actively killing Americans at home and abroad 👏👏

The only way to stop him is [redacted]

Come on Zelenskyy, hit a few more of those Rusky refineries!

Oh man, guess who’s supplying Putin with bombs to stop Ukraine from bombing Russian oil refineries to protect themselves from Russia?

America is officially a puppet state to Russia, but now with live streaming executions.

Serious question. Does russia have enough diesel product to export? I thought they had to restrict exports due to refineries strikes

Didn't Trump put tarrifs on India for doing the same thing?

1M tons of oil were going through Hormuz every day before the big orange boi decided to pop off with no plan.

I am sure this will make a difference. 👍

Performative horseshit instead of governance is the best the GOP can do.

Here's the relevant truth posted about this on Trump's private social media:

https://www.trumpstruth.org/statuses/42215

I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Got to get those fuel prices down before the election!

We'll see if the American Public has learned anything in the past 10 years.

Present company excluded of course.

The most upsetting part to me is that the G7 nations are releasing their fuel reserves and Trump is trying to give the credit to Russia.

What are the chances Ukraine strikes Russian diesel reserves now?

Some Ukranian drones might have something to say about this.

Let the mutherfuckers burn, burn motherfucker, burn!

And if Dems win a majority of the midterms, boom, Russia cuts off diesel and he will pin the blame on Dems for the fuel crisis. Rural know-it-alls will claim it was "always the Dems' fault since March".

Traitor. Orange plague. Disgusting warmonger.

Oh good now my money can go towards killing innocent people in 2 different wars.

Russian Puppet Gets Puppeted by the Russians

I would really hope this is the final straw for Americans to vote out every single Russia apologist out of office in the midterms, but if that had really been a dealbreaker for voters, Trump's team probably wouldn't have announced this in the first place. They know Americans care about gas prices more than foreign policy.

A deal was made close to an election. I’ve seen this movie before, and it didn’t end well.
